In the book Report to the Principal’s Office, by Jerry Spinelli, Principal Brimlow asks the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades to come up with nominees for a school mascot. A mascot is defined as a person, animal, or object thought to bring luck or used to represent a group with a common public identity, such as a school or sports team.

If Ms. Thomas and I asked you to come up with a mascot for our class, who or what would you nominate? Keep in mind that it should represent who we are as a class and not representing just a few students. Use your imagination! Why did you choose this? How would you try to convince Ms. Thomas, myself, and the rest of the class to agree with you and vote for your suggestion?

If I were to elect a mascot for my school I would pick the jerseys. If I were to convince my teachers to do this name I would say this,"I like that name because usually all teams have jerseys so it would be perfect for all of the teams and it is a unusual name.

what I think as a mascot would be the penguin asnd also any animal but what I think could be extinced animals but I know a penguin is the one becuase their cute,happy and they all remind people to have fun.

My Mascot for this class would be with electricity, the unit we are studying in science. Out of this subject, I would pick an object which is a light bulb. I chose this is because a bulb lights up your brain as you come to our classroom. I would convince Ms. Thomas and Mr. Dugger by saying that it is about everybody and it says how fun our classroom is. It also means that we are smart to know about batteries and wires.

I think our class's mascot should be a koala because koalas are cool, cute and cuddly animals. They are endangered species. We should know more about koalas & protect them. ~surah ~

If I had to nominate a mascot, I would choose a Leopards. I would choose a leopard because whenever we go to any specials, we usually get there early. Also, because "Room 25 leopards" sounds kind of catchy. I would try to convince Ms.Thomas, Mr.Dugger, and the whole class by saying," You have to admitt that we are usually fast getting places."

My choice is... dun dun da daaaa! Crayfish! I chose the this because we all loved learning about crayfish and we even did a music video for crayfish. The way I would get the class and teachers to vote I would say " Come on! We loved crayfish! We did a music video too! Please!!!!"

I would name our mascot The Armidilos. I chose this name because it's a cool name and cute animal. I would try convincing Ms. Thomas, Mr.D and the rest of the class by showing what the armidilo does. I would also use very persuassive words to convince them.

If I had to choose a mascot for Searingtown School it would be a monkey. I would choose a monkey because they have a lot of energy. Also because they could be very cute. I would name the mascot Jumping Monkey. I love monkeys but I don't tink any school would have a monkey as a mascot.

mouse and the mouse is a good idea because it is a different animal for a school mascot.

I would nominate theClass Monkeys!!!! I chose this because Mr.D and Ms.Thomas are always telling jokes and everybody laughs at it.I also chose it because everybody now wants to make silly jokes and are always trying to make Mr.D and Ms.Thomas laugh.I would try to convince Mr.D, Ms.Thomas, and the rest of the class to agree with me and vote for my suggestion by saying "don't you agree and don't you always laugh at there jokes and try to make our teachers laugh?" That's what I think our class should be the Class Monkeys!!!!

If I had to make a mascot for out class, it would be Crusty the Crayfish. I picked Crusty because it symbols our music video and our lesson on crayfish. I think that my classmates will like Crusty because he's cool and every day when we do the pledge, we see him!

I would nominate a robbin, because we are all smart, and kind. I also chose this, because animals like lions, tigers, bears, and bulls are so common. Robbins aren't very ordinary. I would convince you, Ms.Thomas, and the rest of the class to choose the robbin by telling you to act like Salem. She doesn't like ordinary things such as the last name Jones.
